Act-On vs Everest (Return Path + 250ok)

• Establishes a simple but very decisive way of how to perform specialized marketing work.
• It includes the monitoring of advertising networks or account management on digital platforms and social networks.
• The support is solid; it takes all the suggestions and doubts I have regarding the software.

• Individualized attention. They really dug in to understand our products and services.
• Easy-to-understand training and actionable items that you can sustain over a long period of time.
• They're embedded in our instance of Exact Target, so I'm able to review the entire email program and don't have to open up a separate tool to gather this information.

• The designer tools, especially for emails, were often difficult to use. The formatting of the text would be all over the place and change / refuse to change at random. Moving boxes around was shifty and sometimes nearly impossible. It just wasn't customizeable enough. No "undo" functionality either.
• The only way to collect information expansively over time (there's a term Act-On uses for it, I can't recall) where it adds questions to the form each time a user fills it out, is if the person were to fill out the same form multiple times. I know this does happen for some websites/resources, but as a company that wanted to collect new information each time someone filled out any form, regardless of the resource or the URL, that was simply not an option, and that doesn't really make a lot of sense. I know it's not really possible to track someone but if they filled out the first part of the form and then it added new questions to answer, and then they submitted and got through the gating, that would actually be helpful.
• There was no "trash can" of sorts in case you deleted something by mistake. This could be so stress-inducing if it was a major project. My coworker did this once, contacted Act-On, they couldn't even recover it.

• Some domain summary data inconsistent with seedlist detail
• UI feels a little dated
• Reporting options are limited
• As part of the SFMC integration, Return Path support issues and question go through Salesforce, not Return Path
• Inbox Preview rendering could be more robust and extensive
• Would like to see Dark Mode previewing rendering

• With the Automated Series, we were able to put in place campaigns that generated revenue that took no time to continue running once set up. This was a positive feature allowing employees to work on another project while the campaign ran on their own.

• It has helped identify inbox issues and thus helping our clients reach more inboxes.
• They have negatively impacted client relations on numerous occasions. They have reached out and told clients they are having issues or need certain products when they are already our clients and we are proving solutions for them.
• They provide solid customer support when you create a support ticket. They are usually very quick to respond and give you an answer.
